Synopsis

You thought you heard it all in the barbershop, but you haven't heard anything yet! Gina Norris (Queen Latifah) is a long way from the Barbershop - she's moved from Chicago to Atlanta so her daughter can attend a prestigious music school, and she's made a name for herself at a posh salon with her cutting edge hairstyles. But when her egotistical boss, Jorge (Kevin Bacon), takes credit for her work, she leaves the salon with shampoo girl Lynn (Alicia Silverstone) in tow to open a shop of her own. Gina buys a rundown salon and inherits a motley group of headstrong stylists, a colorful clientele, and and a sexy piano-playing electrician, Joe (Djimon Hounsou). It's a rocky road to fulfilling her dreams, but you can't keep a good woman down.

Critics' reviews

"The beauty of the 'Shop' movies is that they provide a stage for lively characters"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Lght and likable - a low-budget 'Steel Magnolias' without pretense

Steven Rea: Philadelphia Inquirer
"The residents of 'Beauty Shop' never quite gel. Instead of camaraderie, the feeling is one of bare tolerance."

Chris Kaltenbach: Baltimore Sun
"The diversity of the Beauty Shop ensemble is a large part of what makes it so much fun to watch"

Michael Wilmington: Chicago Tribune
"Queen Latifah's warmly formidable presence drives this amiable but poky comedy."

Maitland McDonagh: TV Guide
"A sunny and sassy comedy that somehow manages to breathe fresh life into familiar stereotypes and stock situations"

Joe Leydon: Variety
"Spends too much time being convivial and not enough time looking for the kind of real conflict that begets a good comedy."

Desson Thomson: The Washington Post
For all the vivid, amusing characters that surround Gina, 'Beauty Shop' rightly belongs to Latifah, who comes into her own as a star and an actress in this film"

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
